Help!Anyone has issue with mounting RX8Store exhaust to RX8store midpipe W/resonator?
RX8store exhaust arrived yesterday and I took it to Midas to have it installed on my car. Originally I have RX8store midpipe W/resonator and corksport exhaust. The two fit together fine, no issue. But when midas tried to mount RX8stored B pipe to the midpipe, things got a litte weird. The flange on the B pipe on RX8store exhaust is larger than the flange on the midpipe at which it connected to. And it is not lined up, the holes for the two bolts aren't lined up. The hanger is hitting the rear differential. I called Jason at RX7store and he recommended that I should mount the B-pipe section to the midpipe first before tighten the clamp at the muffler end. I don't know if midas has tried this technique. I tried calling Jason but noone answer the phone and by the time someone answer the phone my car is already off the lift and old exhaust was already put back on.
Anyone with this combination please tell me the trick how to mount them together. Or whether it will work or not since the flanges are not of the same size. The muffler section fits under the car just fine, in fact, it fits like OEM muffler and easy to center between the shrouds.
Thanks.
